I Stand in Awe

So...today is my day off. Each intern gets one day off a week. Mine just so happens to be scheduled on a day with no one else. So I'm sitting on the front porch of the LDM (Lugar de Misericordia- the main like "lobby" type area at Back2Back for all of you who haven't been to Back2Back) and the campus is absolutely silent. The groups have been sent off for the day, the interns went with, along with some of the staff, and as for the rest of the staff here at Back2Back, they're probably all still sleeping in their homes :)

It's absolutely beautiful. The past 3 days have been go, go, go. But now I get to sit here and soak it all in in complete silence and peace. I plan to just sit here all day and "know that He is God".

As I'm typing this, I'm looking out at the mountains directly in front of me. Back2Back is located in a valley, so either way you look, you're surrounded by mountains. It's breathtaking. I stand in awe of my Creator.

The only noise I hear right now are the crickets in the trees and the birds singing. The sun is shining and I'm guessing it's already in the mid 80"s and it's only 11 o' clock.

This morning, since it's my day off, I got to sleep in. I typically get up at about 7 or 7:15 but today I was planning on sleeping until about 10. But right about at 8:20 the sun popped over the mountain and shined right in to our room (we have a glass door) and shined right on to my face. I was up and in the shower in no time! And pumped for the day in solitude with Jesus.

Today is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it!

Thank you again for all the prayers. I love you all dearly! Can't wait to hear all what went on in Indiana while I was gone!
